The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When passing by a verse that contains a prostration, is it prescribed for the reciter and the listener to prostrate, or does only the reciter prostrate?
The Shaykh:
It is recommended (mustahabb) for the listener to prostrate, not for the one who merely hears. The recommendation is for the reciter and for the listener who intended to listen. As for the one who the verse passed by and he heard it while walking and did not intend to listen, no, prostration is not recommended for him. Yes.
